Judge Nears Return as Yankees' Bat | New York Yankees News

Aaron Judge is edging closer to his Yankees return after a rib injury sidelined him since late May, with live pitching set for his first real test in weeks. Manager Aaron Boone confirms Judge’s recovery is nearing completion and acknowledges the team’s offense has struggled without him. Judge, eager to rejoin the fray and refusing minor league rehab, wants real-game at-bats — even if it means unconventional appearances like limited innings. His rehab has progressed from BP to outfield drills, and he’s aiming to start as right fielder. Teammates are thrilled to have him back as they battle in a tight pennant race.
